Hey Zoltan, price coming down from monopoly pricing levels (like $2 per minute to call from France to US a few years ago!) to a more cost-based, competitive price like $20 cents US is NOT THE SAME THING AS LONG-DISTANCE GOING TO ZERO. How can I get that through your thick head? As I've noted in the past, Zoltan is none too bright! As for me, my traffic is growing 200% a year and my revenue is growing 50% a year in the past few years (so you see even when the price has come down drastically, my revenues are going up and isn't that what business is all about? NOT per minute pricing but overall traffic/demand increase = increased revenue & declining revenue/$ overhead? Long-Distance may go to zero (1.8 cents from US to UK is pretty close eh Zolt?) but not necessarily in my lifetime.
